How to Make Spinach Salad With Grilled Chicken Blueberries

  1. **Make the dressing:** In a jar with a lid, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Secure the lid and shake well to emulsify.
  2. **Chill the dressing:** Refrigerate the dressing for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. **Prep the ingredients:** Wash and thoroughly dry 5 oz of baby spinach, 1/2 cup blueberries, 1/4 cup red onion (thinly sliced), 1/4 cup sunflower seeds, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, and 1/4 cup raisins.
  4. **Grill (or pan-fry) the chicken:** Grill or pan-fry 6 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast until cooked through and slightly charred. Let cool slightly, then slice into strips.
  5. **Assemble the salad:** In a large bowl, combine the spinach, blueberries, red onion, sunflower seeds, nuts, and raisins.
  6. **Add the chicken:** Arrange the sliced chicken on top of the salad greens.
  7. **Dress and serve:** Pour the chilled dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat. Serve immediately and enjoy!
